NIUGINI OUTLOOK Yesterday we watched poor Mark Joseph do his best trying to argue against the baby sense thinkers on the big FB discussion sites. We never get involved in these discussions. We knew that friend Mark was wasting his time trying to argue against the irrational. Baby sense thinkers are illogical by definition and nothing Joseph was going to say, no matter how packed with facts, was going to sway their minds. The baby sense thinkers will probably shut their eyes when they see the poster that accompanies this article but it is the most substantiated information that has come out so far - that the PM has more than enough MPs to beat back a Vote of No Confidence. We wonder also what the baby sense thinkers say about their rallying around every false posting yesterday about the growing, growing members in the Opposition camp. First it was 11, then 20, 30, 40, 60, and are we hearing 80???? The whole thing was hilarious and so many baby sense thinkers bel

HGDC = K30 MILLION MRCD = K30 MILLION AUGUSTINE MANO of MINERAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT COMPANY has come thru with the needed funding for the Vote of No Confidence. K30 million IN CASH delivered from ANZ bank (PNG's biggest money-launderers) PLUS ANOTHER K30 MILLION FROM LANDCO HGDC to PM's boys yesterday. Money withdrawn from landowner accounts by Augustine Mano and Libe Parindali.

by RICHARD BAKA, Political Observer Immediately after the Supreme Court handed down its ruling for Parliament to be recalled within 5 days, the Speaker, Hon Theo Zurenuoc acted swiftly and issued a notice circulated in all mediums to recall Parliament, while the PM said he was going to seek further legal advise on the implications of the decision. PM O'Neill thought that he would use the Speaker to rebuff the Supreme Court decision on the basis that the Court does not have the authority to order Parliament.  However, the Speaker's decision to expedite the motion has put the PNC camp under extreme pressure. PM O'Neill did not travel to Solomon Islands to attend the MSG Meeting. He was full at work since the decision was handed down on Tuesday. A substantial amount of money had been used to bring in MPs. The Kumul jet and helicopters were used to bring in MPs closely attached to PM. The Supreme Court decision, as circulated in the social media, is very clear.  Th

by PONOWI SIWI REMO WHEN PEOPLE NEED TO BORROW OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY FAST, THEY ALWAYS PAY THE PRICE:  They get less money at more cost and this is what Peter O'Neill is doing right now. He's not mortgaging PNG's wealth, he will be destroying it. China is a massive sea of humanity, 1.35 billion out of the total world population of 7.4 billion. Much of China's land is desert. There is a massive concentration of population along the coasts and fertile river valleys. As the population has continued to grow, land has become more short, and people struggle just to grow enough food to eat. The massive rural impoverishment has caused a spillover into urban areas. People are packed like tinned mackerel in many of the cities. They have virtually no living space and certainly will never own any land. They will never own their accommodation in most cases, unless it is a tiny little apartment where an entire family is packed. Think of how you would feel if you were fo

by FRANK TASO Since he and his cronies Nigel Parker, Musje Werror, Moi Avei, Daire Vele and Jakob Weiss threw out PNG Sustainable Development, the mine has been on a death spiral. It has caught O’Neill Disease, the fatal and untreatable parasitical sickness that infects all State Owned Enterprises. O’Neill and his blood-sucking worms grow fat by siphoning all the goodness out of the host SOE, leaving just a shell requiring regular injections of taxpayer funds medicine to recover, only to be sucked dry all over again. Now O’Neill and his cronies are lining up for another feast on OTML. The Prime Minister has ordered CEO Peter Graham to rip as much money out of the business as they can and give it to the Government as soon as possible to help avoid looming bankruptcy. The OTML board is dominated by O’Neill appointees and cronies including convicted Leadership Code fraudster Moi Avei, , Treasury Secretary and wanted criminal Daire Vele, Western Province Administrator and fra

NIUGINI OUTLOOK His death didn't even make an EMTV Youtube upload and the O'Neill government was totally silent about the death, even though it had the whole weekend to prepare a news release. The newspapers seemed to go overboard in running as small as possible articles announcing his death and placing them far from the front page. The National didn't even bother running a photo to accompany their obituary. Even Don Polye, who raved over Nape and supported him as a T.H.E. candidate during the 2012 election, was silent. In fact, not one public figure rose to defend Jeffrey Nape on Monday. The media itself, as well as other government leaders, all seemed shocked by the angry social media reaction and didn't dare want to step into the bee's nest by praising the late and highly corrupt speaker. None of this harsh reaction and turned eyes should come as much surprise when considering how Jeffrey Nape conducted himself as a public servant. The fact is that N

by GABRIEL RAMOI LLB Panguna The  decision  by Rio Tinto to vacate Panguna and to transfer its 53.8%  shareholding in the mines to the National  and the Bouganville  Government  is  welcomed  although it  cannot by  any measure  adequately compensate for the pain and sufferings  and loss of life   sustained by Families during the Bouganville Crisis. Let  me  state  for the benefit of the post Bouganville Crisis Generation  that the Bouganville crisis was brought about as a result of a dispute over  the adequacy of the Royalty payment of two and a half Percent [2.5%]  calculated on the basis of the total value of exportable ore paid as rent to the National Government for copper ore exported from the Panguna Mine. The amount was paid by CRA [ Rio Tinto Australia] into  a pool and shared between the national Government [ 50% ] the Bouganville PG [25%]  and the Panguna Land owners Association[25%]. Annually no more then K10 million was received every year  as rent and shared by all
